All roads lead to Rome. Our setbacks bring us forward; we wander in the wilderness so the road can bring us home.

It has been said of old, all roads lead to Rome. In paraphrased application to the tendencies of our day, it may truly be said that all roads lead to the great social reconstruction. The economic awakening of the workingman, and his realization of the necessity for concerted industrial action; the tendencies of modern education, especially in their application to the free development of the child; the spirit of growing unrest expressed through, and cultivated by, art and literature, all pave the way to the Open Road.

All roads lead to Rome, and there were times when it might have struck us that almost every branch of study or subject of conversation skirted forbidden ground.

The road must eventually lead to the whole world.

All roads lead to you, even those I took to forget you.

When all's said and done, all roads lead to the same end. So it's not so much which road you take, as how you take it.

"To know the universe itself as a road, as many roads, as roads for traveling souls."

-from "Song of the Open Road"

The road up and the road down is one and the same.
(ὁδὸς ἄνω κάτω μία καὶ ὡυτή) — Fragment 60

All of us are like stairs, one step after another, going up and down, but all going the same way.

The road up and the road down is one and the same

The Roman Road is the greatest monument ever raised to human liberty by a noble and generous people. It runs across mountain, marsh and river. It is built broad, straight and firm. It joins city with city and nation with nation. It is tens of thousands of miles long, and always thronged with grateful travellers. And while the Great Pyramid, a few hundred feet high and wide, awes sight-seers to silence — though it is only the rifled tomb of an ignoble corpse and a monument of oppression and misery, so that no doubt in viewing it you may still seem to hear the crack of the taskmaster's whip and the squeals and groans of the poor workmen struggling to set a huge block of stone into position — —

Love always leads to love.

The public highways, which had been constructed for the use of the legions, opened an easy passage for the Christians missionaries from Damascus to Corinth, and from Italy to the extremity of Spain or Britain; nor did those spiritual conquerors encounter any of the obstacles which usually retard or prevent the introduction of a foreign religion into a distant country.

Tutte le vie ponno condurre a Roma.
